The African Development Bank (AfDB) projects Egypt’s economic growth to accelerate from 2.4% in 2024 to 3.9% in 2025, and further to 4.8% by 2026.

In its 2025 African Economic Outlook report, the bank highlighted the resilience of Egypt’s economy, attributing it to several key factors.

These include the diversification of national income sources, the government's continued investment in infrastructure, and Egypt’s commitment to economic reform programs in collaboration with international financial institutions.

Regionally, the report emphasized that North Africa, which includes Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, and Algeria,  is expected to experience robust growth in the coming years, largely supported by Egypt’s economic performance.

The AfDB also underscored the significance of broad international support for Egypt’s structural and economic reform agenda. This includes backing for green transformation efforts and initiatives aimed at strengthening the country’s resilience to environmental and economic shocks.

The report affirmed that this international support reflects strong confidence in Egypt’s reform commitments and its capacity to implement policies that can restore macroeconomic stability and foster sustainable growth.

It concluded by stating that Egypt possesses genuine potential for achieving solid and sustainable economic development in the coming years. This outlook is supported by the government’s reform initiatives, external financial support, and the country’s strategic focus on developing productive sectors such as industry, tourism, and renewable energy.
